Thuya Burl from Morocco Stabilized Blocks - Last Batch

Note:Some woods are easier to work with after stabilizing if allowed to sit for a few months before using them. That is the case with oilier woods like Thuya. Right now the block will feel slightly sticky. If you use it right away it tends to clog sand paper prematurely and is a bit more difficult to get a really good finish. For ease of working I suggest that you wait until early winter before using this block. Normally I would wait to post these in the store but this is from my last batch of Thuya burl and there have been several requests to make it available now.
